valis2The blasted Tori ticket site is telling me there aren't any.
I was e-mailed, you see, by the Tori mailing list people that there would be a special pre-sale for mailing list people. It would open at 1 pm "local time".
Okay, I was there at 1:01. It keeps telling me that they're out. At first the tickets were listed as RSVD and $37.50; now they're reserved and $42.50. Very crazy. I don't think they could have sold out in a minute, though. Either they meant California 1 pm and I'm a few hours late or there is some misunderstanding.
But I can't buy tickets from ticketmaster until Saturday, and I might not have time on Saturday, I'll be working in WI. Boo-hoo.
Anyway...
Since I worked at a department/grocery store years ago, I have always watched to see what people buy, especially if it is only a few items, and then I wonder if anyone else has ever purchased that exact combination, especially if it's rather bizarre. It all started because I was waiting to have my check cashed and the guy in front of me was buying duct tape and strawberries.
So my weird sale recently? I bought a neon "Open" sign, a space heater, and a twenty-five pound bag of rice.
At Best Buy yesterday I purchased "Robin Hood: PoT", "Beekeeper" by Tori Amos, and "Thirteenth Step" by perfect circle.
Mainstream, eclectic, and angsty. That's me. *giggles*
I'd love to hear about any other odd groups of items purchased in a single sale by you. Always a source of amusement for me.
